History Videogame / IndianaJonesAndTheFateOfAtlantis

* {{Unwinnable}}: You can break the doors to the middle ring by trying to open them without boiling away the water. Possibly due to an [[UnwinnableByMistake oversight]] of Lucasarts' policy.

Reason: Attempting to open the doors before boiling the water causes the left statue's head to pop off, but this doesn't make the game unwinnable. If you boil away the water later, inserting a bead will open the door just fine. Verified in the PC CD release.

* BelligerentSexualTension: Between Indy and Sophia. Indy doesn't like that Sophia stole artifacts from a dig site, and Sophia doesn't like Indy's dismissal of her beliefs in Atlantis, and they spend the entire time fighting. But they're obviously attracted to each other, and Indy says to himself htat he might ahve once considered it, before she stole.

* MisplacedADecimalPoint: Plato's ten-fold error shows up as a plot point, both in regards to the distances Plato gave, [[spoiler: as well as the number of [[AppliedPhlebotinum Orichalcum beads]] required to make the Atlantean [[UpgradeArtifact ascension device]] work properly. Though the comic adapation revealed it didn't matter in the end, the thing wasn't meant to be used on humans because it was ''alien technology'' after all.]]

* TookAShortcut: PlayedForLaughs early on - Indiana jones has a jungle separating him from a mayan temple early on. Sophia waits behind while Indy goes and solves a puzzle wherein he gets a snake to attack a capybara and climbs a tree to scale a cliff. Sure enough, Sophia is on the other side of the cliff, and if the player asks "how did YOU get here?" Sophia says she took a bridge while you were bushwacking.

%%* * {{Ghostapo}}: Dr. Hans Ubermann and Klaus Kerner, who is in fact a Gestapo and member of the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thule_Society Thule society]]. Initially, they are trying to find Atlantis for its source of {{orichalcum}}, a mystic substance capable of unleashing energy equal to a uranium bomb- with just a single bead of the substance. However, after discovering Atlantean technology the orichalcum can power, they begin growing more interested in the [[LostSuperweapon robots and machinery]] discovered in Atlantis itself- especially [[AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence the Colossus]].

* LuckBasedMission: The seance Sophia can host to get Trottier to part with his stone disc in the Team Path. You'll need to remember what Trottier said to you when you first meet him as he'll ask what he said. But there's the part where he'll put up a certain number of fingers behind his back and ask you how many he's holding up, forcing Sophia to guess. This leaves you with a 20% chance of success, provided you answered the prior questions correctly. This can be bypassed if Indy gets the scary Mask in Algiers and uses a disguise to scare Trottier.

%%* PhonyPsychic: Indy implies Sophia to be this, thanks to her stage props.
